Published Jul 20 2012, 09:45 BST | By Paul Millar
Carmel McQueen makes an unrealistic attempt to cover up her facial scars in Hollyoaks this evening.Carmel (Gemma Merna) tries desperately to cover her injuries with make-up in preparation for a night out in Chester.
Carmel's life has been turned upside down, after her quest to become the face of new gym Attwell's ended in disaster.
Her free-spirited personality has been damaged since a tanning machine exploded earlier this month, causing the scars.
Will Carmel overcome her embarrassment and join her friends clubbing?

Carmel is self-absorbed, narcissistic, self-centred and vain! I'm sick and tired of this storyline!

I don't understand why this is such a big storyline, nearly everybody I know has scars, including myself..mine cannot be hidden either but I look on it as my sign of survival...

Pretty sure this "facial scars" truma storyline happened in Hollyoaks years ago when Justin pushed his step sister through a glass window and she got tons of scars on her face...which magically vanished eventually....
